Chapter 48: Seventy-five years ago
"This door …… closed?" Mo Yuan and the others had arrived on the second floor. He was now looking back almost every few moments to see if everyone was there, just in case the situation from earlier would still occur. Luckily, there still hadn't been any occupant attrition at the moment. "It's your cell phone then, Mo Yuan." Qin Ziyuan said as he looked at the cell phone that had been smashed on the ground by Mo Yuan earlier. What exactly should be done in this current situation? This question could be said to be extremely difficult for every resident. Now that it was already known that there was an evil spirit present inside that room, continuing to go in would be nothing short of suicidal behavior. But it was clear that one could not leave this place without exploring the way of life here. After a long period of time, if the clues to the way of life could not be found, then the evil spirits outside might come in and kill people. This time, the time of the word of blood is relatively longer, relatively speaking, the word of blood given to the occupants of the life path clues to explore the time on the longer side, is also reasonable. "My personal opinion is …… Let me state up front that this is just my personal opinion, so you guys just take it as a reference." Silver Feather as an old resident, among the residents naturally has a high right to speak, once she spoke, everyone else also listened quietly, itching to take a notebook out to record. "The Bloodletter Life Path will most likely need to be founded on a premise that we can enter the Gushu Bird Pavilion." As soon as these words came out, Dong Ning's reaction was the fastest, immediately picking up, "So, Ms. Ke Yin Yu, you're saying that in the event that we can't leave this place, it doesn't yet constitute a state in which we can execute the life path?" "Like I said, it's at most a reference." Silver Feather looked at the room in front of her and said, "If the Evil Spirit really wants to kill you them, the most reasonable way to do so would be to show up only at the moment it kills you. This is because apartments tend to release the restrictions on evil spirits killing only at that instant as well." "Huh?" Dong Ning carefully chewed on this sentence and suddenly understood something, "Ms. Ke, do you mean …… that all the evil spirits killing people is an instant, is actually because the restriction of the bloodletter quest is also only an instant?" "That's not my point of view, it's a speculation that Li Yin once made in the past." When Silver Feather uttered this name, the other occupants all revealed a look of solemn respect. This name could truly be said to be a legendary figure in the bloodstained records left behind in the past. "So that's the only moment the Evil Spirit can strike at us?" "Although I knew that the apartment would impose restrictions, I didn't expect it ……" "Makes sense." Qin Ziyuan also gazed and pondered, "Only this can rationally explain the balance of difficulty of the apartment's blood word missions, after all, we humans simply don't have the slightest bit of resistance compared to the Evil Spirits. Therefore, in the vast majority of the time the blood word mission cannot pose harm to us, before it is possible for the occupants to gain hope for survival." "This kind of thinking is too optimistic." Nie Han, however, started to splash cold water again at this moment, "To be exact, the restrictions will be relatively greater, right?" "Then let's go in together." Mo Yuan pointed at the door in front of him and said, "Leave only one person to guard the door ……" "Guarding the door doesn't really make much sense." On this point, Silver Feather was quite vocal, "The doors that can be guarded are ones that would not have been closed either. Now that this house is equal to being closed, there's no need to do more than that to trap us. Of course, if you guys want to be more discreet, there's nothing wrong with that." "Don't any of you guard the door? Past Bloodletter missions?" Mo Yuan was quite surprised by this, "The records of the Bloodletter rarely mention such details either ……" "Guarding the door is certainly there, there are some occupants who would seek stability and choose to do so, but in terms of practical experience, it doesn't really mean much." Silver Feather chose this time to say these words, the purpose was obviously to dispel everyone's doubts and actively explore the clues to the path of life, rather than remaining stagnant. Otherwise, the evil spirits would really start to strike once time passed. "Although I made this analysis, I think ……" Silver Feather looked at the door in front of her, and Mo Yuan's cell phone that had fallen on the floor, and said word by word, "Everything must be based on the fact that we can find the life path in a reasonable amount of time The premise of the clues. Otherwise, if we can't get out of here in a certain amount of time and make it to the Gushu Bird Pavilion, we'll still die just the same." The Gushu Bird Pavilion was clearly the origin of everything, so it was likely that one would have to enter there in order to complete the final lifeline. This point, in fact, was not the only thing that Silver Feather had thought of. However, at this stage of the situation, the Gushu Bird Hall itself was more akin to a death trap. Without a ten percent certainty, no one would dare to step in easily. And obviously, Silver Feather was making a risk assessment. "I have a suggestion." Nie Han rarely became talkative today, "Why don't we all go in together." "Hmm?" Qin Ziyuan heard these words, and after a little thought, he gradually understood Nie Han's meaning, "Are you planning to maximize the number of survivors through sheer numbers?" "Not bad. Under the apartment restrictions, for a very short period of time, the evil spirits can only kill one person. Isn't that right? Of course, it's better if you don't go in, Ms. Ke Yin Yu, you're not a current resident anymore. The same goes for you, Dong Ning." Actually, to put it bluntly, it was a gamble on life. It was only that it was most appropriate for this to come out of Nie Han's mouth. Nie Han was already very generally liked within the apartment, and although she was one of the Triumvirate, she never went out of her way to help any of the residents, and she mostly paddled and didn't express her opinions during the Blood Word meetings, so even if she caused others to resent her, it didn't have much of an effect on her. However, just at this time, Kitayama Jinghuang was the one who raised her hand and said, ''I'll go in first. I'm a member of the Beishan Clan who has eaten meat, and like in the Sea of Lost Trees, I'll be able to move freely. It will probably be safest if I go at the front." Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan glanced at each other, the former was still a bit hesitant, but the latter felt it was feasible. Qin Ziyuan then stopped thinking and spoke, "Then it's settled." Beishan Jinghuang should have said, her value is no longer great, since she is willing to be this pathfinding cannon fodder, then Qin Ziyuan also does not care. And Beishan Jinghuang was certainly a little scared, but with so many people standing behind her, she seemed to have gotten stronger and walked step by step to that door. She grabbed the door handle and prepared to open the door, but the moment she turned the door handle, a voice came out from inside the door. It was a long Japanese broadcast. Kitayama Jinghuang couldn't open the door. But the voice was clearly transmitted into most people's ears. And this Japanese, even without translation, Mo Yuan was quite familiar with it, and he had heard this passage in quite a few domestic anti-Japanese dramas. "This is the …… Showa 20 years of the final war edict ……" Kitayama Jinghuang only felt unbelievable, this voice obviously came from within the radio. She continued to turn the door handle, but the door never opened. Then, Japanese continued to come out from inside. Akatsuhiko immediately began translating for Mo Yuan. "The war is finally over." It was a young man's voice: "It's all over ……" Then, that voice clearly took on a bit of a crying tone. "Elder brother-sama …… Elder brother-sama could have survived if he had lasted this long ……" "Makasin, it can't be helped, your condolences." It was the voice of an older man. "If only we had arranged for elder brother-sama to live at the shrine back then ……" "That way he would have been quickly discovered as a deserter. He originally fled the battlefield before …… not realizing that he still died in the war." "The war is over …… but the companies the family started in Tokyo were all bombed into ashes as well …… The family will face big problems now, right?" "Luckily we weren't involved in the military industry, so we shouldn't be liquidated." The room began to fall into a deathly silence. "I really don't understand. Why do people from so many families have to send their children to the battlefield, and as a result, even teenage children have to wear military uniforms.When the Battle of Iwo jima ended, I thought at the time that the war might still be going on for another year or two or so, and I didn't realize that there was actually a weapon as terrifying as the atomic bomb ……" Iwojima? An atomic bomb? Mo Yuan realized that the …… behind the door was a ghost from seventy five years ago? Just then, suddenly the sound of a door being pushed open came from inside the door! This caused the occupants to show dismayed expressions. "House master! Da, something big is wrong! Young Master Kitayama's remains …… are missing!"
